Irish Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Form

Streamline Your Irish EIA Screening Process

Planning a development project in Ireland? Before you submit to your local planning authority, you need to determine whether your project requires a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). This Irish Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Form simplifies the entire screening process, helping developers, consultants, and planning professionals navigate Irish planning regulations with confidence.

Built for Irish Planning Regulations

This template is specifically designed around Irish planning law and EPA guidelines, covering the thresholds and criteria set out in the Planning and Development Regulations. Whether you're working on residential development, infrastructure, extractive industries, or commercial projects, this form captures all the information your local planning authority needs to make an informed screening determination.

The form includes sections for project description, site characteristics, environmental sensitivities, cumulative impacts, and threshold assessments—all structured to align with what planning authorities across Ireland expect to see in EIA screening submissions.

Track Your Planning Authority Submissions

One of the biggest challenges in the Irish planning process is keeping track of submissions, reference numbers, and follow-up actions. This Paperform template includes built-in tracking fields so you can log planning authority details, submission dates, reference numbers, and current status—creating a clear audit trail for every screening request.

When integrated with Stepper (stepper.io), you can automate the entire post-submission workflow: send confirmation emails to planning authorities, create follow-up tasks in your project management system, notify team members when decisions come back, and keep all stakeholders updated without manual coordination.

Automate Your Planning Workflow

Planning consultants and developers handling multiple projects will benefit from connecting this form to their existing tools. Push submissions to Airtable or Google Sheets for portfolio tracking, send notifications to Slack when authorities respond, or sync data to your CRM to keep client records current.

For firms managing planning applications for multiple clients, Paperform's Agency+ plan lets you white-label the form and manage separate versions for different local authorities or project types—all from one central dashboard.

Professional, On-Brand Experience

Instead of relying on static PDFs or clunky government portals, this template gives you a professional, mobile-friendly form that can match your consultancy's branding. Use conditional logic to show only relevant questions based on project type and location, making the screening process feel straightforward rather than overwhelming.

Whether you're a planning consultant, environmental specialist, architect, or developer, this template helps you submit complete, compliant EIA screening requests to Irish planning authorities—faster and with less back-and-forth.
